Circular Motion

Understand uniform circular motion. Observe centripetal acceleration and force as you change mass, radius, and angular velocity.

Mass (m)1.0 kg

Radius (r)2.0 m

Angular Velocity (ω)3.0 rad/s

Linear Speed (v)0.00 m/s

Centripetal Accel (aᶜ)0.00 m/s²

Centripetal Force (Fᶜ)0.00 N

Period (T)0.00 s

Frequency (f)0.00 Hz

Angle (θ)0.00°

v = ω·r

aᶜ = v²/r = ω²·r

Fᶜ = m·aᶜ = m·v²/r

T = 2π/ω

f = 1/T = ω/(2π)
